RFID must address Security issues
Attendees dicussed RFID security in detail in the recently held RFID World show in Grapevine, Texas.The benefits of RFID are well known – the tags are faster and more efficient than bar codes, but critics of the technology say that the wireless data transmissions may cause theft of consumers's personal data.

Prevention is the best medicine. We must find a workable balance between privacy protection and the appropriate use of data.
